-
Ensure you are on at least Patch 1.32 and have "The Sims 3: Showtime" installed. If you are unsure about the Patch, then load your Game Launcher and hover over the icon in the bottom left corner. If the first 3 digits are "1.32" or greater, then you are ready to go. If not, then you must update your game. -
To update your game, go to the Game Updates tab in the Launcher. Make sure the checkbox is ticked that says "Automatic Updates". Also tick the box that has a series of numbers next to it - like: 1.21.123.011002 to 1.22.9.011002.Advertisement -
Once updated, play the game as normal. Then proceed to launch a saved game or begin a new game. -
Create/Select/Move in a household. The Household must have at least 2 Sims in it - this is so you can continue to play the game while a Sim is away on a SimPort. -
Now, you must have a Sim in (at least) Level Two of any of the three performer careers: Acrobat, Magician or Singer. -
Once you do, click on the "..." button at the bottom left hand side of your screen. Select "SimPort". -
Choose the option "Send a Sim". This will bring up a list of your friends on www.thesims3.com. -
Choose a friend. Then confirm a location for your Sim to perform. Once you have chosen all of this, confirm it.- There will be a small waiting time for the SimPort connection to be established.
-
Once the player has accepted, or the game automatically accepts it, your Sim will be whisked away for 12 in-game hours.- If the player was not online, you will have to wait for them to accept your request before your Sim is paid fully.
